i The approaching international
drill in Washington in Nay next is
attracting great attention in militia
Try circles all over the country.
French troops are constantly
moving towards the German from
tier. German troops are constantly
moving towards the French frontier.
When the Teuton and Celton meet,
then comes the tug of war.
There is a loud cry for millions
for defense, but the persons who
are raising the clamor are also in
terested in the millions for tribute
that are paid every year to a favor-
ed and pampered class.
The Edmunds-Tucker Bill is res
lied on to "make the Mormon elders
very uncomfortable" There are
people who would consider this SUI
per1uous for those Of the elders who
haYe'a dozen or twenty wives.
The republican majority in the
next Senate will be a frail and deli
cate, thing requiring careful nurture
and tender care. 1t will be dis
quieting spectacle when the object
of so much solicitude shall be guard
ed and fondled by such a careless
nurse as the eccentric Riddleber-
ger.
The high hat question and the
low neck dress question are now be-
ing discussed with a good deal of
warmth by Washington society. It
would seem as if a compromise
might be effected. Why not settle
both questions at once by putting
less materials into the hats and
more into the dresses -?
The engineer of the train that met
with the fatal disaster at White
River few weeks ago testified be-
fore the coroner's jury that the "frst
woman he rescued from the burning
cars cautioned him to be careful and
not tear her dress" And yet some
authorities talk about the proneness
of women to lose their presence of
mind.
There is not the slightest founda-
ton in the report that Parnell is
about to retire from the leadership
of the Irish party. His amendment
to the address was only defeated by
1O6. Sexton Madea magnificent ef-
fort in behalf of the measure. Par
nell's health is improving. The cabi
net is at work on the proposed local
government bill.
No worse reproach could be put
upon the craftsmanship OF the Re-
public than is involved in the col
lection of $Ioo, 900, 900 year of un-
necessary taxes for a period of sew
en- years. There is a lower depth,
more shameful injustice. It is
seen in the squandering of the rev.
enues by representatives who were
elected to reduce them. Is it too
late for public sentiment to check
the reckless extravaganza of this
proAigate Congress ?
The talk about an extra session
of Congress is revived, and public
men who claim to have inside in>
formation are asserting that the
President will convene the Fiflieth
Congress early in May, for the spec
ial purpose of dealing with the rev.
enue questions, 1t is quite certain
that this Congress will do nothing
in that line, and it would seem to be
the duty of the President to take
the step indicated if the democratic
party expects to keep its pledges
to the people.

Sickness In the Country.

Reports from the country indicate that
there is at this time more than the usual
amount Of sickness prevailing. Most of
these troubles seem to arise from. an i'm.
pure condition of the blood, caused by
an excessive secretion of bile. This
causes levers of a bilious character, and
we regret to say tnat in some places it
has proved very fatal. We therefore
offer this gratuitous advice to those not
yet afflicted Keep your liver in a
% and pxre' eon GOOD o blood sUun meaDO Su good od
health, whilst bad blood bad health.
Hart's Blood and Liver Pills are entirely
vegetable and are just the pills needed
at this season of the year.

STEALING OUR THUNDER.
Republicans Preparing a Tariff
Bill to Run in Ahead of the
Democrats.

Republicans Preparing a Tariff
Bill to Run in Ahead of the
Democrats.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 30.-Representa-
tive Browne, of Indiana, who was
member of the ways and means COM
mittee last congress, and will again be
assigned to that committee, is prepar-
ing tariff bill, which he proposes to
submit to his colleagues on the Repub-
lican side of the house for their approval,
as substitute for any tariff bill the
Democrats may bring in. He thinks
there is chance of the Democrats
bringing into the house tariff bill OF
such a character that the Republicans
could not afford to vote against it, and
then whatever credit accrued from the
measure would go the Democrats.
He proposes that the Republicans
shall have bill of tier own, and then
if the Democrats adopt one of the same
sort the Republicans can claim that they
first made the suggestion. His bill is
not quite ready yet, but he expects to
complete it in time to submit it to his
party friends and get it to the ways and
means committee before they have time
to report bill. Ineharacter it will not
differ widely from what is Iiable4tO. be
taken by the Democrats as a compro
mise! 1t will propose the repeal of the
tobacco tax and of the entire duty on
sugar, salt and lumber. 1t will reduce
the duty on some grades of wool, or
probably place the coarser grades of
wool on the free list. The aim will be
to take the tax off articles entering into
everyday consumption, as far as posi-
bic, without disturbing needed" pro-
tactiOn
